I need help and bad nova needs a MOT so this morning taken her for a run fine temp's (oil, water) OK! Came back home time to fit my radio DONE! :thumb: BUT something is wrong and I don't know what...


Basiclly it's a (c20xe) running on 3 cylinders, change the plugs, leads, rotor arm and dizzy but still no change:confused: .. then ideas stuck! , crazy people around telling me to take covers off. The camshafts are OK only about 6000 miles since last rebuild, belt is OK too.. Was thinking it could be a block fuel injector anyone know how to remove, test,clean one,or has any one else had this problem.

Cheers

Is the wiring loom for the injectors fully pushed down/connected ?
